Obtaining a release for unused designs

Gracias. I do remember asking my old studio director how that worked in our contracts, and we retained all IP not directly related to the final deliverable (i.e. and early round and unused concepts.) Any of those should be no problem. I don’t see my old boss having any issue with it. The trickier one is the company I worked for after that which has since changed ownership (it was incubated in the studio but ultimately incorporated separately and sold off.) The concepts I’m interested from them are from a time when I was a full-time employee there, as opposed to the studio.
